Christopher Bucklow
Christopher Bucklow uniquely manages to combine the rigour and narrative richness of Matthew Barney or William Blake, with surfaces as seductive as those of Gorky or de Kooning. They unite the mind and eye in pleasure.

b.1979 LONDON
Francesca Lowe
Francesca Lowe's hybrid characters are identifiable from stocks of images from painting comics, medical illustrations and artists' pattern books. Lowe's creatures occupy a realm...Could these be angels?

Jaime Gili
What do you get when you mix Pop, Minimalism, Vorticism, Futurism and graffiti art? The answer may well resemble the work of young Venezuelan born artist Jaime Gili.

Juan Fontanive
"My influences include clocks, drums, repetition, things that hang from the ceiling. Physical quarrels, relationships (of objects), tigers, and the persistence of vision. Literary influences are Borges, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and the theorists Derrida and Althusser. Also, memory is a good source for ideas - I've been thinking recently a lot about the house I grew up in and dreams I've had about that house." Juan Fontanive, 2005

Linda Karshan
Her oeuvre is equally impressive in a mode that could not be less fashionable or more rewarding, dark jottings that shuffle gnomically between abstraction and figuration.

Maria Papadimitriou and Martin Kippenberger
In 1994, three years before Kippenberger died, the artist and his assistant/collaborator Maria Papadimitriou attempted to establish a Museum for Modern Art in an abattoir on the Greek island of Syros. This exhibition displays the paintings and various activities that occurred at this time.

b.1972 BARCELONA
Marta Marce
Marta Marce uses the framework of games to explore and exploit the properties of paint but, in her shaped canvases, she turns the rules of competition and the principles of modernist painting on their heads.

Rebecca Geldard, Time Out.

b.1962 LIMAVADY, DERRY, N. IRELAND
Nicholas May
The act of painting, its private, theatrical dance - remember those desperate Hans Namuth shots of Jackson Pollock painting to camera, or the photo-opportunity cabarets of Yves Klein - is adducted in an impersonal, gravity-driven form here.

The Unseen Art of William S. Burroughs
Colour My World
A bedazzling show of bold and brilliant colour, as painters and sculptors offer a vivid respite from the drizzly grey skies of January.

The Guide, The Guardian

It's an irresistible idea: 21 works from 21 artists including Bridget Riley, Patrick Heron and Sonia Delauney, each expressing a different idea about colour.
